mini explorer

We have always been told “don't play with your food!” However, at Funkeynetics children are encouraged to play with their food, just as they are encouraged to play with other everyday objects. Why? By playing with the objects that surround them, children are able to deepen their understanding of the world.

Led by Funkeynetics resident occupational therapist, our little explorer workshops will see that kids learn about health and nutrition while creating (edible) masterpiece. We will play with broccoli, stamp with celery and create with kale. Little ones will develop their fine motor skills while promoting positive eating behaviors and habits.

Designed and led by Funkeynetics resident occupational therapist, our workshops will be promoting opportunities for the kids to engage in purposeful activities in preparation for the upcoming school years. Children will enjoy getting their hands messy as they create their own beautiful projects. We will practice tracing stencils and cutting safely to create paper shapes. Then explore color mixing through sensory play with shaving foam and food coloring to create a swirly rainbow print.
